Written in response to a lot of hate filled propaganda about America and Americans in general. I may not like what is happening, but I am proud to be an American and I'm tired of all the hate. I don't mean to offend anyone, this is just my feelings on the matter. <br /> <br />America's Perspective <br /> <br />United in freedom, <br />united in democracy, <br />united by generalizations, <br />and world wide hypocrisy. <br />I'm so tired of all of the names. <br />Foreign fingers point in my direction. <br />They act like they are innocent… <br />examples of idealized perfection. <br />The hate speech, irate speech, <br />that spew from their tongues… <br />they sneer and they jeer <br />for what my government has done. <br />I'm a War mongering powerhouse <br />bent on world domination. <br />other countries call me <br />a high class abomination. <br />It's all my fault. <br />I'm the one they all blame. <br />Demeaning my populace <br />with their with their hateful campaign. <br />I'm rich and I'm wicked. <br />I love only the gun. <br />I guess they've forgotten <br />all the good that I've done. <br />I'm the cause of their troubles. <br />I'm the reason there's doubt. <br />I wonder who they'll call <br />when their bottom drops out. <br />When their futures are threatened... <br />their lifestyles at stake, <br />who will they call... <br />what alliances they'll make? <br />I don't like this war. <br />I want it to end. <br />If you want to be helpful... <br />be more of a friend. <br />Stop pointing your fingers. <br />Stop wagging your tongues. <br />Lets' all work together <br />to get the job done. <br /> <br />©2008 Dawn Slanker<br /><br />Dawn Slanker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/america-s-perspective/
